Looking forward to it I'd say it will be an exciting game and 0-0 is unlikely

This is the test on how far we've progressed since game 1. The encounter at Anfield was a complete football lesson and Wenger's tactics were absolute genius. He identified 100% how to beat us and conveyed it perfectly to his team. Execution was brilliant, they caught us on the break far too high up the field time and again and we should have lost by more. Their passing and movement was sublime.

I am hoping BR has got an answer here and has analysed how to change things against a savvy team who knows how to play against BR's version of Tikka!

Will sure be interesting. If we lose in the same vain he will have to revisit his tactical drawing board and my slowly growing confidence in him will take a hit!

Take each game as it comes play well on the day and see what happens

Looks like this will be our 14th make or break game of the season so am looking forward to it...

After losing enough, any game is make or break, joe. I personally think we could pip them. Their defense, particularly at fullback, is a joke, and we have some pace out wide. Henderson and Lucas will have to keep Wilshire and Carzola quiet, and Johnson will have to neutralize Walcott. Podolski and Giroud don't worry me as much as those 3 currently.

More or less the team from Norwich. I don't think their Cbs will be able to handle Sturridge and Suarz, so Diaby will be busy trying to close them down, leaving Gerrard open to dictate play. Whether or not he can do that has been a key factor in all of our victories. Suarez will give their defense a nightmare, and since he won't be the lone man up front like he was last time we played them, I don't see him getting isolated the way he did. Borini and Sterling to come on and do some damage in the dying moments of the match. Sturridge to score his fourth.

3-2 Liverpool: Sturridge, Gerrard, Suarez

This is a significant game for us, not quite make or break but it is significant. I'd expect them to play a similar game to the one they used against us last time, so the question is can we contain them when they break? that will largely determine the outcome, together with our improved scoring potential. Wouldn't surprise me if it's a 2 or 3 goal draw.However I'll stick my neck out and suggesr we edge it by a single goal.
I would play the side we played against Norwich and go for it, none of this defensive stuff, we can't play that game with our current defense.

No just go for the win. No point sitting around, we need to go for it.

Important game to know where we stand, whether he have improved or not. A win will definitely prove we are finally progressing in the right direction and also be good in our battle for a top 4 finish (Spurs are looking better than Arsenal right now though). I really think it would be a defining game of our season as it was last season.

I can't see Br giving up on the league as Kenny did last year though so although it would probably end our slim hopes for 4th, I still think we'd finish higher than last year

Gerrard Lucas Hendo

Downing Sturridge Suarez

It'll be a good game. but we won't be compact enough to deal with their attacks: too much pace, too many players. 3-1 arsenal. fancy our win will come against citeh.
